FluxLinux is a lightweight distribution based on Ubuntu's long-term support (LTS) branch and using the Xfce desktop. Some of its features include fast boot and snappy desktop interaction, curated defaults with sensible power-user options, modern package workflow, rollback-friendly upgrade, and privacy-respecting telemetry. With minimal resource overhead and efficient process management, FluxLinux is suitable for installation even on older and low-specification computers.

Talos is a specialist Linux-based operating system for running Kubernetes, an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling and management of containerised applications. Minimal, immutable and hardened, it does not offer any shell or interactive console; instead, all system management is done via remote Application Programming Interface (API) calls, where messages sent from a client application are protected with mutual Transport Layer Security TLS (mTLS) authentication. Talos also delivers atomic updates, thus maintaining the Linux and Kubernetes versions up-to-date. Talos is developed in the USA by Sidero Labs, Inc.
